',o''e"y VI Hhii wright. Several OF the
conyivialists met by chance, the usual
way, and among them were Col. Brad
flute and Jack Longstreet. The gener.
Gus wine Of mine host warmed up the
stomachs Of the guests and the fumes Of
the spirit eventually percolated their
brains and melted the awakening Of tri.
vial animosities, which had slept for
many month"; in the breasts Of Bradfute
and Longstreet, each of whom had kept
locked up within bis heart, with all the
stoicism Of an Indian, a S. poker debt
and 81 beef bill to offset it. In the
midst Of the hilarity which ensued, a
gentleman. whose appellation is Black
Jack, became topic Of conversation and
it would seem that Jacks reputation was
quite freely discussed by the Colonel, as
was also the reputation Of Longstreet,
both Of which the Colonel pronounced AZ
being decidedly bad. Then Bradfute
clapped his right hand to his side, upon
which Mr.. Longstreet with the view
that the Colonel was on the point Of bonn
harding him with 3 masked battery,
which Longstreet supposed the Colonel
to carry.) snaked out his own battery
with one hand and with the other hit
the Colonel diff alongside the jaw,
knocking the old man of the box on
which he was sitting to the ground.
Afterward, on the outside OF the house,
Longstreet hit the Colonel smother clip,
which wound up hostilities for the time
being. A fortnight ago Bradfute came
up from the Muddy and swore out a
warrant for Longstreet's arrest on the
grounds Of assault and battery. Sheriff
Turner and deputy Smith went to the
Muddy and arrested Longstreet. The
case came of on Tuesday, the jury rem
dering verdict Of not guilty.
The Salt Lake Tribune has passed
through the ordeal Of libel suit and
has come out unscathed. the jury rem
dering verdict Of mo cause Of action. :"
The plaintiff was Edward Austin, a
banker Of the London Bank Of Utah
(Limited.) who banked for his own in.
dividual interest, and swindled lady,
Miss Williams by name, whose money he
had been using for years. Whereupon
the Tribune published Austin as an EN-.
bezzler. Then Austin. who is low
down cockney scrub. and was in London
at the time, instigated couple Of scurvy
letters to the Tribune threatening the
paper. Afterward he returned and sued
the Tribune for damages to the amount
Of $4,000. Wishing to do the fair
thing and avoid the notoriety Of libel
suit. the Tribune promptly offered Aus
tin IS cents for his claim, the paper con.
sidering this amount ample to cover al
damages inflicted on his character.
Austin refused the 6.bit bid and the suit
went on with the result as above noted.
